Comment on Permian Park
jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoI read Jurassic Park recently and was surprised that the lawyer was one of the only level-headed characters. Everyone else was like “this place is gonna make so much money, let’s fucking GOOOOO!” And he was like “holy shit this is a disaster waiting to happen, we have to shut this place down.”
The movie did him dirty.

Lol what happened there? I actually made a conscious decision not to read it because I didn’t really enjoy reading Jurassic Park.

BOOK SPOILERS
The entire story is different. For starters there’s no t-rex loose in LA or whatever. Hammond is dead in the book (he gets eaten by compys at the end of the first book). There’s a few details that are the same, like the fancy research lab on wheels, but in the movie the child that stows away on it is Malcolm’s daughter. She’s not in the book. Instead in the book two research assistants to another character are the stowaways. Small things, lots of them.

The Lost World has Dodgson. Not that anyone cares.
